Olympia Express Gasket Set Brew Group Cremina SL – Complete Maintenance Set
The complete gasket set for maintaining the Cremina SL pressure spring brew group – all relevant gaskets, including circlips, in one package, tailored to the SL brew group with its spring-driven mechanism. Original part from Schwanden GL. Olympia has put together its own set for the SL, parallel to the Cremina gasket set – the SL brew group has a different design and requires different geometries.
Official Olympia Service Video
Olympia has released the complete maintenance video for the Cremina SL brew group gasket set – order of circlips, application of the assembly jig, step-by-step installation: Watch Olympia Service Video on YouTube. It is recommended to watch the entire video once before performing the service.
What makes this set special
SL-specific Gasket Configuration
The Cremina SL has a completely different brew group design than the classic Cremina – the pressure spring requires different gasket geometries in several places. Olympia has put together this set parallel to the Cremina gasket set, precisely for the SL brew group requirements. All circlips are included in the set.
Complete Set for General Maintenance
All relevant gaskets for the SL brew group in one package – no searching for individual parts, no reordering forgotten components. For the planned general maintenance of the SL brew group (every few years of intensive use), this is the most honest solution.
Olympia Original Set
Manufactured at the Olympia factory in Schwanden GL, precisely matched to the SL brew group tolerances. Other third-party gasket sets cannot guarantee the SL pressure spring requirements.

Who this set is for
For SL owners who want to fully overhaul their machine after several years of intensive use – including all gaskets around the pressure spring brew group. Also for second-hand SL machines that are to start with fresh gaskets.
Accessories that fit the SL service
Piston assembly aid Cremina SL (Art. 230124) as a necessary tool for piston removal and installation, and assembly jig Cremina brew group (Art. 240124) for inserting the gaskets on the piston: both in our Olympia Express Collection. Cleaning powder for backflushing after service: Machine and Grinder Cleaning Collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an official service video?
Yes. Olympia has published the complete maintenance video for the Cremina SL brew group gasket set on YouTube: https://youtu.be/axVfVya9wHo. It shows the order of all circlips and the application of the assembly jig.
What distinguishes the SL gasket set from the Cremina gasket set?
The SL has a completely different brew group design with a pressure spring – this requires different gasket geometries in several places. Both sets are not interchangeable; each is specific to the respective brew group design.
Do I need tools for installation?
Yes – the piston assembly aid Cremina SL (230124) is necessary for safe removal and installation of the piston, and the assembly jig (240124) for clean insertion of the gaskets on the piston. Without these tools, the service cannot be performed safely.
Can I install the set myself or should I go for service?
Both ways are legitimate. Anyone with prior technical experience in espresso machine service, who has watched the Olympia video and owns the tools, can do it themselves. If you are unsure: a service appointment in our showrooms or directly at Olympia in Schwanden is the honest alternative.
Where can I buy the set or see it in person?
Online via coffeecoachingclub.ch. In person at our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44, 3011 Bern) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b, 8050 Zurich).
Roastery Tip
Anyone taking over a second-hand SL machine gives it an honest fresh start with this set plus the appropriate tools – the pressure spring brew group is one of the most beautiful pieces of Swiss mechanics and deserves clean gaskets. Watch the Olympia video completely, then work calmly and step by step. Our opinion, one of many.
